electric cars will have their place but they are not the solution that governments want to to believe, synthetic fuels will have a large part of the market once they get the cost to manufacture them down, that will mean alot of cars will be able to remain on the road because buying a new electric is out of reach for the large majority and second hand looks iffy at the moment, then there is also hydrogen. Manufacturers that I work with have not been keen on going electric since it started, but there are new start up companies that champion them as do the Chinese

Good to speak with you today, stand looked great

I got mine MOT'd today, where they held the brakes on with the lever thing, the pressure showed a slight weep from the front caliper, it didn't show before so glad I had it checked. I have heard that some insurances can cause a problem if you do go exempt and need to claim, my insurance with Flux never asked if it were MOTd or not.

Saw that video on one of the whatsapp groups earlier, absolute scum, bad enough nicking it but to then put that vid on Face of the book is just rubbing salt in

First car was a mini for 400, first ford was an Anglia with a 1500GT fitted for 500

Got my quote from them, much better than what I have with Flux now.

It would be great to see more of the build, always inspirational to see work like that. Looks great

welcome

Well done to you all, a great stand with some great cars on show

Was good to see the stand today, cars looked great and had a good chat with Vista Estate

It seems this find is just down the road to me, one of the guys I work with cousin has the task of clearing the site, some nice cars there

Shame, I'm going Saturday

Boy racers paying tuners to set their cars up wrong 😉

I had to leave my local ford page on Retards Club the other day, there was no interest in classics and was all Focus and Fiesta ST with their pop and bang maps 🤮 I dont understand pop and bang, a nice overrun crackle yes, but to just pop and bang does my head in 🤣

The mk3 was first in 80 so I wasn't sure how hard and fast the before 80 was but fair enough, if you dont ask, you dont find out It was a bargain, underneath is solid and bodywork is great, had alot of work some years ago and sat in a garage since, it has a running issue which I need to sort before I can MOT

I remember someone saying that to be an OSF it needs to have metal bumpers, so I am picking this up on Wednesday to add to my collection Is it old school Ford enough ?

I've always done my own in the home garage, first my parents garage, not sure they were that happy about that then in a single garage of my first house and now in a reasonably sized double. I've worked on and modified all sorts, mini's, Fords, VWs Unfortunately, my son is more academic and has no idea when it comes to working on cars so I cant pass it on

welcome, I'm not to far away in Suffolk, be good to see you at local meets if you do that

good to know there is a club discount, thanks. I'd like to go, just need to be sure I'm not working away

Interesting the HPI check on ebay says 'Not Imported' but it is a SA import

Always had a soft spot for those ever since a work mate took us to the motor show in his

welcome

Nice clean looking car you have there, welcome

Be interesting to see them use the Escort name again as it seems to have been banned on some of social media sites simply because some stupid people cant differentiate between a car and lady of the night 😆

couple of nice cars there. Do you have to keep those bumpers or can you change them?
